Maginex
Read full descriptionHide full description
Maginex is a cozy one-handed online RPG. You're an ordinary worker in Olston, a southern market town next to a cave that goes deeper and deeper. • Home and plot. Arrange furniture, plant garden beds, build machines and watch your home get cozier. • The cave. Short runs: steer your hero with the joystick, and when they stand still, they attack on their own. At each level, pick one of three abilities. The deeper you go, the better the loot, gear and magic. • A living town. The tavern, the square, the pier, the forge court, the mill and the outskirts — with other players all around. Chat, friends, gifts, clubs, a market and fishing. • Crafting. Process your loot, cook food, forge gear and fill the town's orders. • Neighbors. Bruno the innkeeper, Granny Veda, Old Titus and the other townsfolk give you work — along with gossip, jokes and unexpected twists. No pay-to-win: combat gear comes only from the cave and the forge. It's more fun with friends, but you can play the whole game alone. The game is online only and requires an internet connection.
